Default 1990 rear storage area help!

When I bought this car, I knew I was going to replace the carpet. So I ordered the complete kit for a 1990 convertible from stock interiors. When I got the kit, I noticed that the rear storage "T" piece was completely different than the one I pulled out. So I looked online and noticed that other 1990 kits looked similar to the one I received. But it just don't fit my car! Am I missing something in my rear cargo area? Pictures below are 1: what was under the carpet when I pulled it. 2: the old carpet (red) and the new one (black). Are the web sight catalogues wrong or am I missing something? Were there split years?

Hi,
I Think the black carpet is the correct one for your car,
Have you also pulled out the "rear storage unit" and the rear speakers?
I see on your Picture that those are missing.

No the only thing I removed from the car was the carpet and that is what was underneath. I would love to see pictures of 1990 convertible and how it is supposed to look under there.

SO they changed location of the rear speakers in 1990 when the dash changed to the wrap around and put them further back int he rear area at a 45ish deg angle..

in the 89 Earlier they had the speakers in the front of the rear area (where you find the storage compartments in a coupe) so it looks like you car has the earlier style rear speaker setup going off the carpet

Ya, I would like to put it back to the way the 1990 should be. I can find the storage doors for sale but not sure how to do the rear speaker panel.
